Abstract

A communication assembly has a plug connector (1) and a jack assembly (2) provided to be connected. The jack assembly has a first printed wiring board (4) having associated crosstalk compensation elements with corresponding contact elements (6), a second printed wiring board (5) and at least a first and a second pair of contact wires (3), where each of the contact wires (3) has a base (3B) supported on the second board and a opposite free end (3A). The free ends (3A) of contact wires of second printed wiring board (5) establish an electrical connection with a corresponding terminal pad of the plug connector (1) and the contact elements (6) of the first printed wiring board (22) are aligned beneath corresponding free ends (3A) of the contact wires of the second printed wiring board so that the free ends (3A) establish electrical contact with the contact elements (6) of the first printed wiring board when they are engaged by the plug connector (1). The electrical contact is at a distance smaller than 5 mm from the physical location of the electrical connection with corresponding terminal pads of the plug connector.
